| Had this thing in my humi for two years almost and finally decided to smoke it. Full-flavor stick but that last third is impossible to deal with. It was so peppery and the wood flavor became harsh. Anyone else had this experience?

| man ive honestly never had a bad one. the belicoso and the robusto are my faves and ive burned my fingers several times trying to milk em to the cut. maybe you had a bad one or maybe yoy have different taste, either way i would toast another one before writing them off. |

| I have enjoyed a few but not had the experience you had. Overall a very good cigar. I believe it was in the CA top 25, wasn't it? |

The Mi Amor Belicoso was the #2 cigar for 2011! I absolutely LOVE every single one I have ever smoked but they can be strong. |

| Smoked the Belicoso a while back and had the opposite problem. Very harsh in the beginning but finished awesome. |

| I have not enjoyed the several I've tried. I have 4 more and will allow them to age a bit longer. I do really enjoy the LADC red band, which I am smoking right now, though. |

| I'm about half way through a LADC Mi Amor Belicoso, and I have to say, this is one of the best smokes I've yet to smoke. I will for certain be picking up more of these! |

| This one was a Belicoso box pressed I believe. It was delicious for the first half but, got too peppery and a bit harsh towards the end. I had a Swag Fierce Habano that was very peppery(enough to make me sweat) but, nothing like that Mi Amor! Guess I will have to buy another....

| Give em another shot, and make sure you have a belly full of food first. Sometimes it is us and not the cigar that is harsh!  |

| The one Belicoso I've smoked had really strong toasted wood flavors in the first third, which was a bit off-putting. Seemed to fade after that first third and I ended up enjoying the rest quite a bit. I'd definitely smoke another. |

| Excellent smoke! Don't let just one put you off. Try another one and I'm sure it will be better. |

| I have yet to try these. I think that I will rectify that situation this afternoon. I have some belicosos with 800 or so days of rest on them. Should be mellowed out very nicely by now. |
